Will Logic open very old LSO files?

I'm looking to do sequencing again after years away from doing it.
I have a whole load of .lso files from using a very old version of Logic - when it used to be Micro Logic - on PC.
I desperately want to be able to open up this old files if I get an iMac with a version of Logic.
Question is, will the more recent Logic Pro 8 open legacy formats like my old LSO files, or is it likely to be unable to read them?

You can open files from version Logic 5 onwards. Here is a thread about it:

How can I open very old illustrator files in Illustrator CC?

I have archives of work files going back to Illustrator 1.1. Is there any way of opening these? At what point in the Illustrator development do legacy files become simpler to open? I have been working with Illustrator since 1987 so it's an important issue for me.

I guess ou have tried just opening the files?
Do the filenames have an extension?
If not, what happens if you just set it to .ai or .eps?

My PS CS6 with camera raw 8.4 will not open Nikon D4s NEF files-

I have just upgraded from CS 5.1 to CS6. The initial installation went smoothly and everything seems to work as it should. The CR was version 7. I then installed all of the updates using the Check Updates option from the menu. That went fine also and the CR was updated to version 8.4.0.199 as reported under the About Plug ins. It will still open my old nef files (Nikon D700) but it will not open files from the D4s, suggesting that I upgrade camera raw. Now I have also downloaded and installed the latest DNG converter version 8.4. That will show and convert the older D700 files but will not even show the D4s files In the same folder. I uninstalled CS6 according to the uninstall instructions and then deleted the folder (Plug ins?) from the Common/Adobe location as instructed, and then reinstalled. No improvement resulted. This is on windows 7 64 bit system with all updates.

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

Running Logic 8, but can't open old LSO files

I have a few two old LSO files that I need to open, but can't because I am running 8. It says that I have to have Logic Pro version 7.2.1 in order to convert.
If you can help me out - i.e. if you can open and convert my files to new sessions that can open in Logic 8/9 - then I'd be happy to reimburse you for your time.
Please shoot me a message, and we can talk further. Looking to make this happen ASAP.
Thank you!

How old? InDesign can only PM files from version 6.0 and later.
If they're older than that you'll need to open them PM 7 and resave them.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

Photoshop CC will not open EOS 40D RAW files

I recently updated to Photoshop CC 2014 but cannot open Canon EOS 40D .CR2 RAW files.
I can open and edit them in Lightroom but if I attempt to 'Edit in...' Photoshop from Lightroom, I get a message suggesting that I update to Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 using the update tool in the Photoshop help menu.
However, the Updates... menu item is greyed out, unavailable.
How can I resolve this issue?

Thank you again, JJMack.
As soon as you start CC 2014 press and hold Ctrl+Alt+shift or CMD+Optiom+Shift Photoshop should prompt it you want your preferences deleted.
I have tried to reset preferences, a couple of times, both by deleting the file 'Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Prefs.psp' and by using the keyboard shortcut you suggest (also to both older versions of Photoshop on my drive) but the 'Update...' option under Help remains greyed out (on all versions).
All PS version install by default on the Boot disk and happy coexist. Problem arise when you install newer version of PS then use Adobe uninstllers to un-install previous versions. Often this process messes up file associations of the newer install. I just delete the install tree.
I don't recall ever having used an uninstaller. I have twice cloned my entire boot disk however, complete with all applications including Photoshop, most recently about a year or so ago when switching to a SSD. I don't know if that might have messed things up along the way. I have no idea what deleting the install tree entails?
The superscription versions of Photoshop CS6 13.1, CC 14.2.1 and CC 15.0 as well as the perpetual version of CS6 13.0 should have just been updated with ACR 8.6 you should not need to convert to DNG for there version of PS. If your Cannon is very new you may need to convert to DNG for CS5.
Re: Photoshop CC will not open EOS 40D RAW files
My Canon EOS 70D is listed as supported by ACR 8.6 and in fact, having now hunted down the ACR 8.6 download link (why is it so hidden? why isn't incorporated into the Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 installer?) and installed it, Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 does now open my .CR2 files directly in ACR 8.6 in Photoshop.
So problem solved, I guess.
All except the greyed out 'Updates...', which still lingers on.
Thanks again for all your help.

Need help opening really old FreeHand files

I have some very old FreeHand files, I'm not sure what
version but probably around v.5 or so. I have all the source files
and fonts and I'd like to reconstruct FreeHand files in version 10
or even 9 if possible. Problem is I can't open the old FreeHand
files through the menu options or by dragging the files onto the
app icons.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I downloaded FreeHand BNDL
Resources from FreeHandSource.com a while back but they didn't seem
to do anything. Any help is appreciated.

Are you on a Mac? If your version of Freehand can open the
version the
file was saved as you can open the file by dragging it to the
application icon while holding down the option and apple
keys.

Import old lso files

Is it possible to import old LSO files created in Logic Platinum 5 software (Windows) into Logic Pro on Mac?
I need to be sure before buying that new software
Thanks for help

Not possible with the current Logic 9 version, you would need Logic 7 or below to do so!
Good luck!

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

...QUICKTIME will not open it's own files....

...it states that the files are the "THE MOVIE COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE FILE IS NOT A MOVIE FILE." Prior to a system crash I had before Christmas followed by a data recovery operation and data transferred to a LaCie 1TB external drive...could the filebe damaged? Could there be another way to open the file? The size 472MB is correct but I can't open the movie. There are a couple of other files that also will not open. All QUICKTIME files that are on my main computer and on another external hard drive open fine. Puzzled! All ideas welcomed. Thanks

...thanks for replying. I've tried everything imaginable including VLC and nothing seemed to urge these files to open. Fortunately they are not huge elaborate projects and may take less than a day to reconstruct. Some of them were backed up as QUICKTIME clips and again some of those opened and some didn't. Oddly enough I opened some that wouldn't open under the menu "OPEN" or double clicking but when opened from the "AUTOSAVE VAULT", some of them opened! It is not so much the files I'm concerned about as much as the "problem", something I would want to know how to get out of at a later date. thanks

Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

Can Pages open VERY old files?

I'm going to buy an iMac early next year, my first Mac in eight years. I have ClarisWorks 2.0 files I'd love to resurrect and tweak. Can I do that with Pages, or are these files too old and I'm SOL?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
No, Pages can only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. AppleWorks 6.2.9, which will run on the new Intel Macs should be able to open AppleWorks 5 & ClarisWorks files, but it often gives an I/O error when trying to open ClarisWorks 4 & earlier files. If you can get a copy of AppleWorks 6.2.4, you would not have this problem. It is only AppleWorks 6.2.9 that has the problem. You can buy a copy of AppleWorks 6.2.4 from Hardcore Mac which is likely to be the best solution for you.
